Know Violence in Childhood

Description
Reliable data on inter-personal violence in childhood are difficult to obtain. This is partly because such violence takes place within relationships and is hidden by a strong culture of silence. Fearing potential stigma or retribution, many children and women are reluctant to report abuse. There are also significant gaps in the availability of comparable international data. To address the problem of data gaps, Know Violence in Childhood has estimated missing values of prevalence rates for six indicators of violence against children: child homicide rate, corporal punishment at home, violence among peers (an indicator each on bullying and physical fights) and violence experienced by adolescent girls (physical violence since age 15 and forced sexual violence including in childhood). Drawing on these estimated indicators, the Ending Violence in Childhood: Global Report 2017 provides global estimates of the burden of interpersonal violence experienced by children.
